We went to the Healeys for cchristmas Eve dinner. We picked up S. Sheahan, S. Leppanen and a member from the Branch, Bozena Skowronska. Bozena went to the market on Thursday and bought a live Carp which she brought back to her apartment and kept alive until Christmas Eve day when she killed it, cooked it and brought it for our meal. That is a tradition even though most people don't like Carp. 
Bozena is making Beet salad with the beets left over from the Beet soup which is a huge tradition here. It was really good.
Kate Healey is puttingg tthe finishing touches on a few other dishes.
Max and Richard Healey are keeping me entertained for the moment.
Ross and Bozena are discussing the Carp. Her husband died several years ago and she said he used to do all the Carp killing, cleaning, and cooking.
Time to eat. The big Brown bowl is a cabbage, mushroom, onion dish which tastes like saurkraut. It's good!
Kate and Sean opt for the sofa as there is no more room at the table. By the way, Kate is expecting a baby the first of February.
S. Sheahan had no room at the table either.
Elder Rogers and Richard. E. Rogers got some cool pajamas from his mom. Little did we know he had them under his suit pants.
The Elders and Sisters came over for food, Chrroistmas DVD and a little hang out time on Christmas day. They were excited as their families were going to call them and wish them a Merry Christmas.
So, Merry Christmas everybody.

Merry Christmas Richards! It looks like you were well taken care of and were taking care of others also on Christmas and Christmas Eve. We had a good Christmas weekend ourselves...good memories and enjoyed being with others...our favorite part was making connections/calls were our children and family...but loved the Christmas we had here too.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy New Year...we are going to the YSA dance tonight for a few hours (Alex makes her mission announcement tonight)...maybe you have heard from her already...so we are excited for her news. Then it's an early movie and dinner for us tomorrow...Have a safe and good New Year's Eve and Day! Hugs....
